Whatever happened to... Spanish Moss Saddle Pads

[Mike Ventura]

A year or so ago, another attempt was launched to create Spanish Moss saddle pads. Whatever happened with that?

Mike,

Unfortunately, the unfathomable amount of labor and work (and everything else that is involved) wore down those who were trying to turn these out. The whole textile production process of the materials of the 18th & 19th centuries is way under appreciated and grasped, but when it comes to working with the coarse materials like Spanish moss, you are really ratcheting up the level of difficulty. We were all hopeful, but maybe next time........

thx,
Mark

Thanks, Mark. Based on past attempts, I kind of assumed that was the issue. Maybe next time...
